Motherhood

"No occupation in this world is more trying to soul and body than the care of young children. What patience and wisdom, skill and unlimited love it calls for. God gave the work to mothers and furnished them for it, and they cannot shirk it and be guiltless.” ― Isabella MacDonald Alden (The Aunt of Grace Livingston Hill)

From "On The Banks of Plum Creek"

"After Laura and Mary had washed and wiped the dishes, swept the floor, made their bed, and dusted, they settled down with their books. But the house was so cozy and pretty that Laura kept looking up at it."

- Laura Ingalls Wilder

Human Frailty of the Godly Soul

Charles Spurgeon:

"The life of Luther might suffice to give a thousand instances,and he was by no means of the weaker sort. His great spirit wasoften in the seventh heaven of exultation, and as frequently onthe borders of despair. His very deathbed was not free from tempests, and he sobbed himself into his last sleep like a greatly wearied child."

From "The Little Preacher" (p. 146)

"As for her, like most women, she had but one ambition. To be a good wife and a good mother, and to be beloved by her husband and children, was all she asked. [She was] a busy, affectionate, cheerful little housewife, whose voice would never be heard in the streets, but whose memory would always live in a few faithful hearts."

- Elizabeth Prentiss, 1800's.

Housewife:A married woman who stays home. This is a lifelong vocation. It is an old-fashioned term, and something to be proud of.Not a "domestic engineer." Not a "home manager."An old fashioned housewife, who keeps the home,and abides there.- Mrs. White

*I received this product from this company (for free), for the purpose of sharing my opinion.*

ACT Advantage has created tests to help parents see how their children are doing academically. Each (timed) test consists of four subjects:

1. English
2. Math
3. Reading
4. Science

I had Matthew (17) take Explore, which is designed for students in grade 10. Amy (14) took Plan, designed for 8th graders. Neither child enjoyed this test. It was not fun. It annoyed them greatly. (smiles). As a matter of fact, I have been nagging both of them for several weeks to actually sit down and do them. I finally won the battle this week and am now able to write this review.

I was not surprised in the least bit when I saw their results. I know how they are doing academically because I have been their teacher since they were babies. I really don’t have a need for evaluating their progress. However, it is good for them to take practice tests.

The kind of families who might benefit from this resource are new homeschooling mothers who are unsure about how their children are doing. These teachers will be able to see weaknesses so they can plan a course of action for improvement.
